I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Jan 2022
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me through Linkedin, but could never reach back to her again. Tried to contact several times to ask about how the interview will be conducted, but never heard back from her.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Typical resume based questions
2. System Design question including coding
Applied for Amazon AGI. After first round, it will go into full round of multiple interviews. Lots of modern LLM training technic questions. There are still some behavioral questions, but less than general Amazon roles.
Interviewed with 1 phone screen, 1 coding, 2 ml design and 2 lp rounds. Most questions were non-leetcode questions more related to day to day ml implementations. The questions were very practical.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokio) in Apr 2026

The interview for the Applied Scientist position primarily focused on three core components: technical questions regarding machine learning, a live coding assessment, and a detailed review of my professional experience.
